These round hay bales are actually illegal.
The cows can’t get a square meal.
- Comment on Cow eggs 1 day ago:
Cow and rabbit eggs aren’t fictional, they’re just really small and don’t have hard shells.
- Comment on Bitch shape attack 2 days ago:
Definitely don’t think about the overpopulation of deer, the spread of CWD, the fact that deer are commonly found in corn fields, the US loves corn, and the plants can take up prions from the soil.
That interspecies barrier seems like it’s the only thing between us and a huge disaster.
- Comment on Bitch shape attack 2 days ago:
They respond because they have to do things like inject the DNA into the organism once it latches on to whatever on the cell surface. That doesn’t occur in the host, it occurs in the virus.
- Comment on Bitch shape attack 2 days ago:
One of the theories how organisms switched from RNA to DNA is due to viruses. Viruses have a pretty wild range of their genetic diversity. Single strand DNA, double strand DNA, positive sense single strand RNA, negative sense single strand RNA, double strand RNA. We’ve also probably got viruses as a permanent part of our genome from some ancestor species.
I think they’re pretty cool. Also, they do respond to outside stimuli, otherwise they’d be completely inert.

If you were able to answer that question, I think you would solve one of the eternal mysteries of humanity. We seem unable to escape the patterns that we keep repeating millennia after millennia.
- Comment on We live wasted lives 3 days ago:
almost all of the humans that have ever existed … exist right now
This is wildly untrue.
- Comment on We live wasted lives 3 days ago:
Same as it ever was
- Comment on Senate GOP budget bill has little-noticed provision that could hurt your Wi-Fi 3 days ago:
What do you mean by same thing with Meshtastic, are they trying to sell spectrum around 900mHz too?
- Comment on In a First, America Dropped 30,000-Pound Bunker-Busters—But Iran’s Concrete May Be Unbreakable, Scientists Say 1 week ago:
Calling that pyramid age I think is a little disingenuous, they didn’t have 40,000 psi concrete back in those days.
- Comment on Maybe not nursery rhimes about balloons 1 week ago:
Did I miss something in school? Plenty of things heavier than helium aren’t metal. Boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon…
- Comment on Seriously, it was all the rage back when I joined my first instance. 1 week ago:
Don’t forget Van week!
- Comment on Why is there such a negative connotation with the poos of horses, bulls, and bats? 2 weeks ago:
Bat and bird poop can carry diseases such as histoplasmosis.
- Comment on Does seeing daylight create an illusion of being a little more warm? 2 weeks ago:
OP is asking about seeing light, not being directly hit by it. A psychological effect.
- Comment on In this day and age is it possible to create a commune? With majority of vegetables coming from one acre and all put in to get wifi to our subdivision? So the bill is not that high? 2 weeks ago:

- Comment on For All That Is Good About Humankind, Ban Smartphones 2 weeks ago:
This is true but I don’t think it’s going to have the desired effect you want in the long run. How’s the war on drugs working out?
Firearms restrictions will be enforced unequally; it will be used as a pretense to further persecute minorities. Those with money will simply hire private security contractors who can jump through the legal hoops to get whatever they want. The majority of shootings in the US are related to drugs and other illegal activities that have logistics channels to get guns just as easily as drugs or exploited people. Guns are durable and the demand exists. They’re not going anywhere.
The gun problem in the US is not the cause of our woes, it is the symptom. “Make X illegal” is the laziest form of government and it’s just granting them more power which will be abused eventually.
- Comment on For All That Is Good About Humankind, Ban Smartphones 3 weeks ago:
Ban smartphones makes about as much sense as ban drugs or ban guns. It does nothing to address root causes and will do little to change anything for the better. Societal issues take more than “make X illegal”.
- Comment on Would having two hearts be better or worse for the human body? 4 weeks ago:
Well they’re not separated, so who’s really making the pedantic argument here?
- Comment on Would having two hearts be better or worse for the human body? 4 weeks ago:
Citation needed. The junctions in cardiac cells make electrical signals propagate through them all, so acting independently isn’t something that’s normal. There’s two loops, but one pump. It’s a single system.
- Comment on why does alcohol stop my back pain but medicine doesn't? 4 weeks ago:
all the “positive effects” disappeared over time and i was just left with those meh ones
This is the case for every single drug I’ve tried, and one of my hobbies is treating Erowid like a Pokédex.

- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 5 weeks ago:
a societal acceptance of the absence of free will removes the burden of guilt
Those cops, judges, lawyers, jail guards etc also don’t have free will, so while maybe the burden of guilt is gone, the legal repercussions still would exist all the same.
- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, this literally is how it works, like to a T.
- Comment on IT’S THE FEDS! 5 weeks ago:
I do appreciate how strong the magnets are. The force between a two 1cm square steel plates in a 2T field is about 159N or 36 lbs of force.
I do not think the contact area between parts of the trigger / sear etc and striker / whatever else are more than 1cm square, they’re also lubricated. Given the orientation of the pistol could also change, making the friction force less effective, I think it’s possible that a pistol is able to fire after being sucked into the MRI.
- Comment on IT’S THE FEDS! 5 weeks ago:
Most modern pistols are striker fired not hammer fired.
I’d venture a guess nothing out of the ordinary happens thanks to lube and springs. Gun fires.
- Comment on IT’S THE FEDS! 5 weeks ago:
If there’s anything I’ve learned from my weed growing hobby, it’s that nobody cares unless you’re doing it on a near industrial scale, like converting an entire floor or house to a grow.
A hot tub requires way more power than your average hobbyist grow op these days. I can’t imagine a reptile setup is requiring 10+ kWh/day (what a fucked unit that is btw)
- Comment on the real struggle is choosing which to replace 1 month ago:
I have a single alarm set. I came to this after years of pointless snoozing.
If you need to get up at a certain time, get up at that time. If you don’t need to get up at a certain time, just turn off the alarm. Snooze is bullshit, fuck snooze. You gain nothing from snooze. If you really must lay around half conscious in bed, just set an alarm like an hour before the real alarm. I just don’t understand the multiple alarm people. Do you really gain all that much from turning off your alarm 6 times before you actually get up versus an entire hour to chill before the actual alarm?
I hate the sound of the alarm and I absolutely don’t want to hear it, or lay there anticipating it. One annoying ring of the alarm is all it takes, more annoying rings just make a shittier start to the day IMO.
- Comment on Why is it okay for shit to go down the drain but not food? 1 month ago:
This is not how lipids are metabolized. They are not converted to glucose. Fats are broken down to monoglycerides to be absorbed, recombined to triglycerides and eventually chylomicrons, and transported to adipose tissue.
- Comment on Why is it okay for shit to go down the drain but not food? 1 month ago:
What’s the point of a garbage disposal if you can’t put food in there? You don’t need that to make liquids go down the drain.
